[Intro]
(Optional: Palm mute in place of the length of four chords)
[Verse 1]
N.C. 
Stand straight, keep it right on track
N.C. 
Gotta step on the outcast, your deck is stacked
N.C. 
Talk soft right behind their backs
N.C. 
Before you know it, you'll be one of them
AmKeep kind words up out your mouth
Throw their Fname in the mud
Now you're Eheading south
AmDon't let them see your face
A Ffacade's what you need for the fEame
(E)
So blame the game
[Pre-Chorus]
AmAll of these petty things
AmEverything you want it seems
FTrusting far as Eyou can throw her
AmGive a bit, take a lot
AmGive it everything you got it
FWorth every bit Eof exposure
FAll curtains dAbrawn
A stage of Amsmog is Gsetting up the FsceneEm  
          F                     G             Adim(E)
Your final call won't blackout all the fake I see
[Chorus]
AmI nGever Fmeant to fit this CmoldEm  
AmI'm Gsimply Fdoing what I'm CtoldEm  
FPainted up and Gwatered down
To a Emshell that's hollowed Amout
FBefore I Emknew I became one of Amthem
Am Am Am
AmWoah-oh, one of them
Am Am Am
[Verse 2]
AmPull every string attached
FVerify all the tropes
Ain't no Eturning back
AmFrom your point of no return
FMake a habit to cross every Ebridge that you burned
[Pre-Chorus]
AmAll of these petty things
AmLambo's and your shiny rings
FGo as far as Eyou can throw it
AmGive a bit take a lot
AmFill your cup it's not enough
FHeart's on E and Ewe both know it
FAll curtains Abdrawn
A stage of Amsmog is Gsetting up the Fscene (Emis setting up the scene)
FYour final Gcall won't blackout Aball the fake I Emsee
[Chorus]
 Am      G                   F      C(Em)
I never meant to fit this mold
  Am        G                F      C(Em)
I'm simply doing what I'm told
FPainted up and Gwatered down
                         Em    Am(G)
To a shell that's hollowed out
FBefore I Emknew I became Amone of them

AmYou swear your name holds so much weight and all demand
AmSo what's it like to live life as your own biggest fan? (Must be nice!)
EBut on and on, it comes around (Yeah)
ECongrats on your new love you found
EIn love with every single sound
EAnd word that's coming out your mouth
